AUTHORS/ Stevenson, Kenneth W.
Kenneth William Stevenson (9 November 1949 - 12 January 2011) was the eighth Bishop of Portsmouth in the Church of England.
BIOGRAPHY
Stevenson was born in Edinburgh. He was consecrated as Bishop of Portsmouth in 1995, following parish work in Lincoln and Guildford and in the university chaplaincy at the University of Manchester. He was married, with four children.
Stevenson held a PhD from the University of Southampton and a DD from the University of Manchester where he lectured in liturgy alongside his work as a chaplain. He was involved in the Church of England's participation in the Porvoo Communion, not least because he was part-Danish. He was a Knight Commander of the Kingdom of Denmark's Order of the Dannebrog. In 2006, having been diagnosed with leukemia, he began a course of treatment. On 22 February 2009 he announced at a service at Portsmouth Cathedral that he would retire in September 2009 due to continuing ill-health. He presided at his last confirmation service on 19 July 2009 at St. Peter's Church Seaview, Isle of Wight.
In retirement, Stevenson continued to write and give his support to fund-raising activities for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, e.g. through musical events and the artistic work of his daughter Alexandra.
He had two brother-in-laws who were also bishops, David Tustin and Peter Forster. Both assisted at his funeral at Portsmouth Cathedral on 26 January 2011.
